HON. VIM. nj. STEWART.

was born In Lyons, wayne coun-
ty, New York, on the ninth day
of August, 1927. His father
was native of New England, of
Scotch descent. His mother,
whose maiden name was Miranda
Morris, was a descendant of
well known New York family.
Early in 1850, being then
twenty two years of age, Mr..
Stewart babe farewell to his old
home, and started for California
ria the Isthmus of Panama. His
capital consisted principally of a
stout heart, q determ ined spirit
and a sound mind in sound
body. He arrived in San Fran
cisco on the seventh day of May,
1850.
There are few public men on
the Pacific Coast whose connec-
ton has been SO close, continu-
Gus and influential with our min
ing interests as the object of this
sketch, and we doubt if there is
any other individual whose acts
have left so deep and beneficial
an impression on these interests
as those of William NJ. Stewart.
A man of Herculean form, with
a massive, well-poised head and
irrepressfble will -power, he is
one of those who appear born to
command. Such men seldom
fail to accomplish whatever they
undertake. Thus, soon after his
arrival here, we find Mr.. Stewart
as an "honest MINER" working
with a zeal that insured success,
in the "Coyote Claims" as they
were called, on Buckeye Hill, in
Nevada county. While pros
pecting in tie Fall of 1850 he
discovered the Eureka diggings,
which have been worked con-
tinuously ever since, and are
among the more valuable of the
placer diggings of to-day. To
work these rich mines, he pro-
jected the Grizzly ditch, which
is in ust now-taking the waters
of Grizzly Canyon and Bloody
Run, and carrying them. at an
immense expense, down to the
Cherokee diggings. To provide
the miners and their families
with lumber, he built the first
saw-mill on Shady Creek, which
was in operation for years. In
the Spring of 1852, having had
all he wanted of mining and saw
ing, he sold out his business and
commenced the studyof the law,
with j. r. Mcconnell, at Nevada
City. Such was the rapidity Of
his progress, and the force of his
presence and speech, that in De-
cember, 1852, he was appointed
District Attorney, to which Office
he was the following year elected
by an almost unanimous vote,
and performed its duties go salts
factori!y, that in 1854, he was APP
pointed Attorney General, and
took up his residence in San
Francisco. 1t was while residing
here that he married a daughter |
of Ex-Governor Foote, of Missis-
sippi. firing of city life, he re-
turned to Nevada City, thence to
DownievilIe, in Sierra county,
then one OF the most important
mining camps in the State.
There he devoted himself to the
study and practice of laws con-
corning mining-ditch and water
rights-a most important and lu-
crative branch of litigation. He
continued in this business till
April, 1860, when The excite
ment about the Comstock mines
induced him to go to Virginia
City, where he at once entered
into partnership with Henry

ment of the mines, and he soon
became one of the leading opera
tors on the Comstock, and built
for himself the finest private
mansion there was at that time
in the Territory.
In 1861 he was chosen a mem
Der of the Territorial Council,
which office he subsequently re-
signed, and iu 1862 was elected a
member OF the Constitutional
Convention and to him more
than to any other individual, is
the Silvor State of Nevada in
debted for those provisions in its
Constitution which have made it
one of the most prosperous States
in the Union. In appreciation
| of his services the citizens of Ne
vada elected him to represent
them in the Senate of the United
States for two terms.
He was first elected in 1864,
and was reelected in 1869. In
this august body Mr.. Stewart
exhibited that dignity, industry
ana perseverance which have
been the leading characteristics
of his busy life. Ever careful of
the interests of his constituents,
he there rendered most impor-
tant services to the mining inter-
ests of the country. 1t is to his
efforts the miners are indebted
for the defeat of the measure in
troduced in Congress in 1866, to
sell ali the mining lands of the
country at public auction.
On the third of March, 1868,
while Nevada was a Territory, an
Act was passed in Congress pro-
viding for Mint at Carson City,
but no steps were taken for the
construction of the same, and il
was claimed that the appropria-
ton had lapsed. In February,
1865, an Act was passed for the
purpose of acquiring title to site
for the Mint building. The
Treasury Department, however,
opposed the construction of
Mint at Carson, and recommended
instead the construction of an
assay office of the same character
as those established in Oregon,
Idaho and Montana. On the
goth of June, 1868, Mr.. Stewart
made determined effort to Sc
cure an appropriation for the
construction and equipment of
the Mint at Carson. With the
assistance of his colleague, Sena-
tor Nye, he induced The Finance
Committee to report an amend
ment to the Sundry Civil Appro-
priation Bill of $l5O,OOO for that
purpose. Upon this amendment
lively debate took place between
Mr.. Fessenden of Maine, a men,
Der of the Finance Committee,
who opposed the amendment,
and Mr.. Stewart, in which Mr..
Stewart exhibited the statistics
of the production of the precious
metals of Nevada as compared
with other mineral producing
States and Territories, and con-
ciSely stated the reason why the
appropriation should be made,
after which the amendment was
adopted by the Senate and the
Mint constructed.
Mr.. Stewards most enduring
claim on the mining interests of
the country rests on the import
ant services he rendered them
while member of the United
States Senate. 1t is to his efforts
the miners are indebted for the
defeat of the measure introduced |
in Congress in 1866 to sell all the |
mineral lands of Nhe country at |
public auction. 1t was Mr.. Stew |

Lactart and Honey, What is it!

A little while ago the general public began to
hear more or less about Lactar and Honey a. cure
for coughs and colds, and great deal of curiosity
was stirred in regard it. The success of the new
preparation appears to have been remarkable for it
now appears TO have place in the stock of nearly
every live druggist.
The secret Of its efficiency is really very simple, for
Lactart (the pure acid of milk is combined in Ger.
tain with honey, and together they form
a preparation that has wonderful curative power
People have always used sweet and sour, in some
form, in combination, as cure for coughs, hoarse
ness or sore throat; but nothing equal to Lactart
and Honey has yer before been devised.
The ,oothing aud healing qualities Of honey are
united with the mucus dissolving power Of Lactart
and the result is simply charming success. Lac
tart and HoDey has agreeable taste that it Ii
certain to become widely popular wherever it il
tried and lite healing virtues tested.

Saved from a Shark.

1t happened upon my last visit to the
Sandwich Islands. I am a very expert
swimmer, and nothing pleases me
better than a plunge into the salt
water. The temperature of the island
is delightful, and 1 could not resist the
temptation to take a swim.
After I had been in the water for
half an hour I pushed out over and
beyond one of the reefs which sur
round the islands. All at once I real
lied that something was going on on
the shore. There was quite a number
Of natives there. and they appeared to
be greatly excited. Suddenly two
native girls swan out behind me with
long knives between their teeth. I
looked behind, and to my horror I saw
a shark making for me with terrific
speed. An instant later the girls had
diVed and the shark had nearly
stopped. The water around him was
red with blood. The girls came to the
surface again, and again they Owed
and plunged their long knives into the
monster. At last he lay still on the
top of the water, quite dead. The
natives dragged him ashore and found
that he was one of the largest Of his
species
But for the wonderful bravery of
these girls I should not be here to-
night to tell you this story.-Sal5

Writing of the opera in New York in
1855, Max Maretzek, in his "Crotchets
and Quavers, a" describes q most amusing
performance Of 'Ernani' at the Astor
Place Opera House. The audience
had greeted the effort of the mediocre
artists engaged in the representation
with almost continual derision, and the
clumsiness and nervousness of Signor
Castrone, a new basso. who was seen as
Silva, and who. on making his first
entry upon the stage, tumbled over
his sword and scattered the chorus in
his trajectory, provoked unusually
boisterous demonstrations of ridicuIe.
In the last act of "Ernani' matters
went still worse: Sylvia, summoned in
haste from his dressing-room, forgot to
don his trunks and appeared in tights,
and, dismayed at the confusion which
arose when the spectators discovered
the omission, Ernani died close to the
footlights, and had to come to life again
when parted from the mimic world by
the descending curtain Signor Cas-
trone still lives aud hourishes, but as a
business man and not as a singer. He
is the husband Of Nine. Marchesi, the
singing teacher, and a valued assistant
of that clever femme d affaires.-Nely

PosItions III T5.IscF sIeer.-

According 70 DE-. Granville the posi-
ton affects sleep.
A constrained position generally pre-
vents reposes while a comfortable one
Woos sleep
He says:
Lying fiat on the back, with the limbs
relaxed, would seem to secure the
greatest amount Of rest for the muscu-
lar system.
This is the position assumed in the
most eLhausting diseases, and it is gen
orally hailed as a token of revival when
a patient voluntarily turns on the side
but there are several disadvantages IN
supine posture which impair or en-
barrass sleep.
Thus, ID weakly states Of the heart
and blood vessels, and certain morbid
conditions of the brain, the blood seems
to gravitate to the back of the head and
to produce troublesome dreams.
In a person who habitually, IN their
gait or work, stOOps there IS probably
some distress consequent on straighten-
ing the spine.
Those who have contracted chests,
especially persons who have had pleu-
risy and retain adhesiOns Of the lungs
do not sleep well on the back.
do so in that position, because the soft
palate and uvula hang on the tongue,
and that organ falls back so as to partly
close the top of the windpipe.
1t is better, therefore, to lie or the
side, and in the absence Of special dis
eases rendering it desirable to lie on
the weak side, so as to leave the healthy
lung free to expand, it is well to use
the right side, because when the body
is thus placed the food gravitates more
easily out Of the stomach into the in
testines, and the weight of the stomach
does not compress the upper portion Of
the intestines.
A glance at any plate of the visceral
anatomy viii show how this must be.
Many persons are deaf in one ear, and
prefer to lie on a particular side; but il
possible the right side should be
chosen.
Again, sleeping with the arms thrown
over the head is to be deprecated; but
this position is often assumed during
sleep, because circulation is then free
In the extremities, and the head and
neck and muscles Of the chest Is drawn
up and fixed by the shoulders, and thus
the expansion of the thOrax is easy.
The chief objection to these positions
are that they create a tendency to cramE
and cold in the arms and sometimes
seem to cause headaches during sleeI
and dreams.
These small matters often make Of
mar comfort In sleeping.

WHcm DO zrEN DRESS FORs

A woman gets in a good return shot
at the male critics of her sex's slavery
to fashion" in a letter to a contempt
rary. She takes up the confession of a
gentleman that he has abandoned the
attempt to wear a flannel shirt TO town
in this willing weather, and otherwise to
conform his raiment to comfortable
conditions, because he thereby made
himself the subject Of unpleasant OBJ
seryation and remark. In other words,
the flannel shirt was not "good form,
and he had to give it up. The woman
thinks that the hackneyed observations
of men upon the servitude of ladies to
fashion may well be tempered with
mOdesty and charity after such a con-
fession as this.
1t has been said that women dress,
not to please the men. but to pique and
challenge and delight each other. The
hannel-shirt episode naturally suggest
the inquiry, "Whom do men dress for p"
Stiff linen shirts, close-ftting business
suits, and "stove-pipe" hats are assur-
eddy not chosen for the wearers' own
comfort in such weather as We have
had this summer. They are not worn
to town to please the fastidious taste of
the ladies, for business and professional
men meet very few ladies during bust
ness hours, and there is NJ proof that
the women approve of inappropriate
male costuming. Can It be that men
array themselves thus unphysioIogie-
ally and uncomfortably in order to sat
isfy the whims of the AIoIoch Of fash
ion? Do they dress for each other,
when every one Of them rebels at the
custom? If so, there is a call for some
resolute spirit to start a movement to
smancipate the alleged "sterner sex"
from slavery to a senseless fashion. AS
it seems settled that we are to nave
tropical weather, why should we not
have tropical raiment ?-NelD York

Glsncing first Of all at the upper
orders We shall be at once struck with
the immense change which has passed
over the male attire since the eight
eenth century. The contrast of color
between male and female dress which is
now conspicuous then hardly existed !;
and rank, wealth, and pretensions were
still distinctly marked by costly and
elaborate attire. Nor was this simply
true of the Ducks @beaux," "frib-
bIes, "macaronis, " and "dandies, who
represented IN successive periods the
extremes or the eccsntricities of fashion.
The neutral dress scarcely differing in
shape or color which now assimilates all
classes from the peer to the shop
keeper was still unknown. and a mode
of attire was In frequent use which sur
wives only IN court dress, IN the pow
dered fOctmen of q few wealthy houses,
in city pageants, in the red coat of the
hunting-deld, and in the gay coloring
Of military uniforms. The pictures OF
Reynolds and GainsbOrough have made
the fashionable attire of their period
too familiar to need a detailed descrip-
ton, and it may be abundantly Illus
trated from contemporary literature.
Thus, when Lord Derwentwater
mounted the scaffold, he was dressed IN
scarlet, faced with black velvet and
trimmed with gold, a gold-laced waist
coat, and a white feather In his nat.
DR.. Cameron went to execution in
ight-cOlOred coat, red waistcoat and
breaches, and a new bag-wig. One Of
Selwyn's correspondents describes
well-knoWn highwayman who affected
the airs of fashion. as going to Tyburn
dressed in q blue and gold frOck and
wearing 8 white cockade as an emblem
of innocence. DR.. JOhnson's usual at
tire was a full suit of plain brown
clothes, with twisted hair buttons of
the same color, black WOrsted stockings.
a large, bushy, grayish wig, and silver
buckles; but on the night when his play
of Irene" was first acted he thought it
right to appear in the theater in a scar
let WaistcOat, with rich gold-lace, and q
gOld-laced hat. Goldsmith went out as
a physician in purple silk small-clOthes,
and with a scarlet roquelaure, a sword,
and gOld-headed cane, and he had
other suits which were equally
conspicuous. Wilkes wrote to his
daughter in Paris, in ITO. asking her
TO beg Baron HOlbach to purchase for
him scarlet cloth of the finest sort and
color to make a complete suit of clothes,
and the most fashionable gold buttons
for the whole. He is described by one
of his friends, walking to town from a
house which he had taken at Kensing-
ton, usually attired either in a scarlet
or green suit edged with gold.
